Leners Patent No. 91,096, dazed June s, 1869.

IMPROVED PAPER BOX. y

The Schedule referred to lin these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, H. A. Dnvnxnonr, of Port Jackson, in the county of Montgomery, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in' Paper Boxes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which-V Figure 1 is a plan;

Figure 2, a side elevation;

Figure 3, a top View,v and Figure 4, a side elevationfthe several drawings representing the different stages of the process of manufacturing a paper box by my improved method.

This invention relates to an improvement in the manner of constructing paper boxes, whereby they can be made more economically, and with less labor,

'while the article produced will be stronger and more eter of the box to be formed, and the length of each strip is equal to said diameter, plus twice of the side of the box. Y

Having cut out the strips in this form, and placed the height them as described, I trace a line, cc, to guide in forming the bottom of rthe box, and then slit the sides of the pieces A B, from the corners where' their edges intersect, in a direction tangent, or nearly tangent to each side of the circle c, vas shown at e c.

That part of each strip between the line c and the slits c e is then bent up around the curved line, formlinner piece B, to which they are firmly attached by some suitable glueor adhesive gum. iinished and ready for use. V

The box is shown with three sides formed, in iig. 4,

and in fig. 3 the relative positions of the different parts can be clearly seen bythe brown, red, and blue lines.

It is evident that the thickness and strength ofthe box can be increased to any extent, by building up the walls and bottom in this way.

It is further evident that the box can be made octagonal or polygonal in shape, if preferred.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- Y As a new article of `manufactu1'e,a paper box, construeted by means of the strips A B, slit at e aand The boxisthen bent up and attached together, substantially in the manner specified.

To the above' specification of my improvement, I

Shave signed my hand, this 20th day of July, 1868.
